I am subscribed to D-U.

Mainly apt-get doesn't screw with things that way dselect does, in its
nearly-prehistoric methods. Like doing things for you, that you
shouldn't without asking "Hey, Girl-Pants! Are you really sure you want
to be STUPID?"

If you want apt-get|aptitude to act similarly there are options for em,
other wise apt-get|aptitude behave much more friendly.
